MIAMI – Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa surprised a group of South Florida children on Monday.
Dick’s House of Sport in Miami hosted a Sports Matter Day of Play, Gatorade Edition at the store located at 7239 N. Kendall Drive.
The event welcomed kids from the Pembroke Pines YMCA to participate in a variety of sports activities.
“It was amazing, it was really a pleasure to meet somebody and I don’t really watch football but it was really nice to meet a famous person,” Julian Dove, 9, said.
Participants were able to try new sports in an inclusive and welcoming environment.
The Pembroke Pines YMCA was also surprised with a $20,000 grant from the Dick’s Sporting Goods Foundation to support their ongoing work in youth sports.
